Look Of The Week: Accessorize It Red

Add a little holiday cheer to your black ensembles with a playful splash of red. Gossip It Girls as well as Kate and Nicole know just a tad of crimson against a dark background can go a long way.

Thanks a lot for stopping by!
I've been accesorizing myself in red for as long as my memory can go back. It is the best way to add a little touch of color to a dark outfit!

Hey! And thanks for stopping by! I love the red socks and scarfs! Is a great colour to combine with black, grey and white...
The clothes horse: Because it makes us feel comfortable, not as blue, that means danger! (or thats what I heard... :-)

I love the Time Traveler's Wife! Did you hear that its being made into a movie? It was such a good book, I'm apprehensive about the movie.

Red is my favorite accessories color. It brightens up the blah-est outfit in an instant.

I want that Chanel bag!!

Hildur said...

Great post! As much as I hate splashing colours on clothes, accessorizing is a great way to add colour to an otherwise black outfit. Black and red are so sophisticated paired together.
Love Nicole's Chanel tote.

Ana said...

I've recently become obsessed with injecting color into my outfits, especially with canary yellows and red!

Okay, I know this doesn't make any sense, but...
I found this picture of a model, and I am simply DYING to know who she is.
I thought you might know, being the writer of a fashion blog and all.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me, I seriously have to know who she is. She's so beautiful.

You're so right, red makes such a difference, it's remarkable! I'd love to have a red chanel bag like the one on the collage.

Excellent editorial of REDs.

I always find red too distracting but the editorial here is amazing.

Thanks for the great ideas.
